Default Towing w/Short Bed & Stacks!

Just wondering if anyone has a shortbed with stacks and tows a gooseneck or 5th wheel... I know I'd get soot everywhere I'm just wondering about clearance issues... Any input?

A gooseneck should be okay. You prob. wouldn't be able to turn more than 75 degrees but it would be doable. A fifth wheel would be too tight prob. only about 50 degrees. I don't think a sliding hitch would even help. Plus all your soot would be dumping out right on the bulkhead of the camper.

Here's mine. Looks like alot of room when it's all going sraight but you gotta get them sideways to turn them and it takes up all your clearance.

long bed w/stacks would be ok with a 5vr, but a short bed would only be good with a gooseneck ball. but then I wuld still be skeptical of making too tight of a turn.
